Six Pillars Responsible Gaming We

This is more than just a slogan. 89bet implements six concrete approaches to ensure every member plays in a safe and healthy environment.

Deposit & Wagering Limits

Set your own daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits through your account settings. Once a limit is set, our system will not allow you to exceed it — even if you request an increase within the same time period.

Game Break (Cool-Off)

Need a short break? Use our Game Break feature to temporarily suspend account access — 24 hours, 3 days, one week, or one month. No lengthy questionnaires, just click and step away with peace of mind.

Self-Exclusion

If you feel you need to stop playing for a longer period, the Self-Exclusion option allows you to lock your account for 6 months, one year, or permanently. During this period, your account will be inaccessible to anyone.

Time & Spend Reminders

Set automatic reminders that will notify you when you have played for a set duration or spent a certain amount in the current session. This feature helps you stay aware without having to monitor it yourself.

Promotional Content Block

Don't want to be tempted by bonus offers or promotions? You can opt out of all marketing communications, bonus notifications, and promotional ads from us at any time, directly through your account settings.

Support & Counselling

The 89bet support team is trained to assist members experiencing gambling-related stress. We are ready to listen and refer you to appropriate help resources, in complete confidence and without any judgment.

1. What Is Responsible Gaming?

Responsible gaming means enjoying online betting activities purely as a form of entertainment — with clear limits, conscious decisions, and full control in your own hands. Responsible gaming is not just a warning notice printed in small text at the bottom of the screen. It is a genuine commitment that we take seriously at every level of 89bet's operations.

Many people play and enjoy it without any issues. They set a budget, play for fun, and stop when they have had enough. That is the healthy approach, and one we fully support. However, we also recognise that for a small number of individuals, gaming can shift from entertainment to a habit that is difficult to control. This is where 89bet steps in — to ensure there is a strong safety net for those who need it.

We have no interest in profits that come from members playing beyond their means. This principle is not just a slogan — it is embedded in how we design our products, set our policies, and train our support team.

Remember: 89bet is for entertainment. Never play with money you cannot afford to lose. Set your limits before you play, not after.

2. Early Warning Signs to Watch Out For

Recognising early warning signs is the most important step in preventing gambling problems before they become more serious. Here are some indicators that gaming may be starting to become a problem:

  • Thinking about gaming almost constantly — while working, eating, or trying to sleep.
  • Gradually increasing the amount wagered in order to achieve the same level of excitement.
  • Attempting to "chase" losses — a behaviour that almost always leads to even greater losses.
  • Lying to family members or friends about how much time and money you have spent on gaming.
  • Neglecting work, family, or daily responsibilities in order to keep playing.
  • Using money intended for bills, food, or basic necessities for betting purposes.
  • Feeling anxious, irritable, or uncomfortable when trying to stop playing.
  • Borrowing money from others to play and struggling to pay it back.

If you recognise two or more of the above signs in yourself, now is the right time to use the control tools we provide or contact our support team. There is no shame in asking for help.

3. Self-Control Tools We Provide

89bet provides a complete and easy-to-use set of self-control tools, accessible directly through your account settings at any time. All tools are designed to put the power back in your hands as a player.

Deposit Limit

Set a daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limit. Once the limit is reached, the system will automatically block further deposits.

Loss Limit

Set the maximum loss amount you are willing to bear within a given period. Once the limit is reached, the system automatically blocks further play.

Session Time Limit

Set a maximum session play duration. Once the time is up, the system will display a notice and prompt you to take a break.

Game Break

A temporary break of 24 hours to 6 weeks. Your account is suspended and no deposits or betting can be made during this period.

Self-Exclusion

Long-term self-exclusion for 6 months, 12 months, or permanently. During this period, requests to reopen the account will not be processed.

How to Activate Self-Control Tools

1

Login to Your Account

Access your 89bet account via the Login button at the top of our website or mobile app.

2

Go to Account Settings

Click on your profile icon at the top right corner, then select "Account Settings" from the dropdown menu.

3

Select the "Responsible Gaming" Tab

Inside the settings page, you will find a dedicated tab for all available self-control tools.

4

Activate the Required Limits or Exclusion

Choose the type of control you want, enter the appropriate value or duration, and confirm. The limit will take effect immediately.

4. Self-Assessment — Are You Playing Responsibly?

Take a moment to answer the following simple questions honestly. This is not a formal test, but it can help you assess your relationship with wagering activities.

1

Have you ever played beyond the budget you originally set for yourself?

2

Have you ever borrowed money or sold belongings to fund your wagering?

3

Do thoughts about gaming interfere with your focus at work, studies, or personal relationships?

4

Do you keep playing even when you know you should stop?

5

Do you play to escape problems, stress, or negative feelings?

6

Do you feel guilty or regretful after playing, yet continue anyway?

7

Has someone close to you ever expressed concern about your gaming habits?

If you answered "Yes" to any of the questions above, that is a good signal to reach out to us or use the self-control tools. Small early steps can make a big difference.

5. How to Get Help

If you or someone you care about needs support, don't delay taking action. Help is available, and asking for it is a sign of courage, not weakness. Here are the channels you can use:

  • 89bet Live Support: Contact our support team via live chat available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Our team is trained to handle responsible gaming inquiries confidentially and with empathy.
  • National Counselling Helpline: Free counselling services provided by Malaysian authorities for individuals facing gambling problems and related mental health issues.
  • Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs): There are several local organisations that offer free support, group sessions, and personal guidance for those affected by gambling addiction.
  • Family Support: Concerned family members and friends may also contact our support team for guidance on how to help their loved ones.

You don't have to wait until things get serious. Even if you just feel like "there might be a small issue," that's already reason enough to talk to someone. The sooner, the better.

6. Child Protection & Underage Access

89bet is an online gaming platform strictly restricted to individuals aged 18 and above only. We take child protection extremely seriously and maintain a zero-tolerance policy against underage access.

All new members are required to complete an age verification process (KYC) before their account is fully activated. This includes submitting a valid official identity document. We use document verification technology to ensure the accuracy of the information provided.

Guide for Parents & Guardians

If you share a device with children or teenagers at home, we encourage you to:

  • Using parental control software to block access to gambling websites.
  • Do not save your 89bet account password in any shared browser or device.
  • Log out of your 89bet account every time after you finish playing.
  • Have open conversations with your children about the risks of gambling and the importance of financial responsibility.

If you suspect that a child has registered for or is using a 89bet account, please contact our support team immediately for investigation and further action.

7. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Yes. All self-control tools including deposit limits, loss limits, and session time limits can be activated on your own through the "Responsible Gaming" section in your account settings. There is no need to contact the support team unless you require additional assistance.

Deposit limit takes effect immediately as soon as you save the settings. However, any reduction in limits will be processed immediately, while increases to limits require a 7-day waiting period before taking effect — this is to ensure stronger protection for yourself.

A Game Break is a temporary suspension (24 hours to 6 weeks) during which your account is inactive but can be reactivated after the period ends. Self-Exclusion is a more serious step — your account is locked for a minimum of 6 months and we will not process any requests to reopen it before the specified date.

Yes. All balances in your account prior to self-exclusion being activated are safe and protected. You may contact our support team to request a withdrawal of those funds to your registered bank account even during the exclusion period.

89bet uses an advanced identity verification system. Any attempt to register a new account using the same information during an active self-exclusion period will be detected and the account will be closed. We take self-exclusion enforcement seriously to protect your best interests.

Completely confidential. Information you share with our support team regarding responsible gaming issues will not be shared with any third party without your consent, unless required by law. Your privacy and dignity are always protected.
